Trump’s final full day of 2020 rallies featured digs at celebrities, sports stars, and Hillary Clinton – The Week Magazine

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), held simultaneous events in Pennsylvania on Monday night, a battleground state that President Trump narrowly won in 2016.

Biden held a drive-in rally in Pittsburgh, where he told the audience if elected, he will address income inequality and racial injustice and ensure that more people have access to health care. The polls show Biden leading Trump in Pennsylvania, and he said he has "a feeling we're coming together for a big win tomorrow."

During an earlier event, Biden said the country is at "one of those inflection points. This is going to be more than just who governs the next four years. What happens now, what happens tomorrow, is going to determine what this country looks like for a couple of generations."

While Biden campaigned in Pittsburgh, Harris was in Philadelphia, where she told voters the Democratic ticket "will confront, not condone white supremacy and fight for economic justice, no matter your ZIP code or your race. And Pennsylvania, we will begin the work of healing."

When it comes to COVID-19, which has left more than 230,000 Americans dead, Trump has "failed to lead," Harris said, but Biden will expand testing as well as the Affordable Care Act. "We're looking at over nine million people who have contracted the virus, and we know it's hitting communities of color the hardest," she said. "Latinos are contracting COVID at three times the rate of others, Black folks are dying at twice the rate of others."

Biden will stay in Pennsylvania, with plans to campaign in Scranton and Philadelphia on Election Day. Catherine Garcia

We all love our dainty necklaces and pendants, but if you want to make a statement without trying too hard, take a note of Clintons beaded necklace. It is not flashy, rather a plain necklace with golden and white beads which goes perfectly with her ensemble. Fun fact: layered necklaces can also be worn as layered bracelets, and they look equally good!

When you think of pantsuits, the two most common shades that come to the mind are black and white. How boring! If you are a fan of pantsuits, go bold while you keep it sharp. Clintons pantsuit is a gorgeous royal blue colour its evident that this is her favourite colour given how frequently she dons it.

We all have been there, where after every season, we transition and keep a certain set of clothes aside, because they arent of any use to us.

Trump, GOP will need big Election Day margins to win in Iowa – Associated Press

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) President Donald Trump and other Republicans will head into Election Day likely trailing by tens of thousands of votes in Iowa, a deficit they hope to overcome with a strong turnout of their supporters at polling places.

By Saturday, 62% of active registered Democrats in Iowa and 43% of Republicans had returned absentee ballots as part of a record-setting early vote in the state.

That means 123,000 more Democrats had voted than Republicans, an advantage far higher than the party enjoyed in 2016 or 2012 in absentee voting. But it also means the remaining electorate Tuesday will be smaller than unusual, tilt toward the GOP and feature a plurality of voters who arent registered to either party.

Trump won 208,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton on Election Day in Iowa in 2016, nearly 57% percent of ballots cast that day. He won the state by about 147,000 votes after Clinton carried the early vote.

Given the stronger early vote totals this year among Democrats, Republicans may need a similar performance for Trump to carry the states six electoral votes and U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst to win re-election. They will have to do so with fewer Election Day voters expected and amid a raging coronavirus pandemic that has become a concern for some poll workers and voters.

Conservative activist Tammy Kobza said she doesnt believe that will be a problem, noting the forecast of sunny, warm weather.

I think its going to be a nice day and I think its going to be a huge turnout for Trump, said Kobza, who voted early this week in the Republican stronghold of Sioux County in northwest Iowa. Conservative people like to go to the polls. Thats just how it is.

Trump carried 81% of Sioux Countys vote in 2016, and Kobza said she sees more enthusiasm for his candidacy this year.

In all, a record 924,533 voters statewide had returned their absentee ballots by mail, dropped them off at an auditors office or voted early in person by Saturday. That is 235,000 more than the previous absentee record set in 2012, when Barack Obama carried Iowa on his way to reelection.

Auditors were beginning Saturday to process the crush of absentee ballots, and they can begin tabulating them Monday. County officials say that, barring something unexpected, they should already be counted by the time polls close at 9 p.m.

Bryce Smith, chairman of the Democratic party in Dallas County, said hes seeing positive signs for Joe Biden, Ernst challenger Theresa Greenfield and other Democrats in the fast-growing suburbs west of Des Moines. He said more than 1,500 county Democrats who didnt vote in 2016 have already done so this year.

The number who voted early will make it easier for volunteers to focus on convincing remaining Democrats to return outstanding absentee ballots or get to the polls on Election Day, he said.

I truly believe that if Dallas County is painted blue on election night, the Senate and White House are going to flip, he said of the county, where Trump defeated Clinton in 2016.

Democrats are also hoping to protect their 3-1 margin in Iowas congressional delegation.

Statewide, turnout is expected to exceed the 1.58 million from 2016, which was nearly 73% of registered voters. This year, a 75% turnout would mean an electorate of about 1.66 million.

About 1,200 polling places will be open, compared to 1,450 in the 2018 election, after counties closed and consolidated some locations because of health and budget concerns. State officials are urging voters to check their polling place locations many of which may have moved online at Voterready.iowa.gov.

The election will also be the first presidential race since the passage of Iowas 2017 voter identification law. Voters must show their drivers license or another accepted form of identification in order to vote.

Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate said that he expects a busy day at the polls despite the record number of absentee voters. He said his office was working to keep polling places safe from coronavirus by distributing 145,000 gloves, 200,000 masks and 11,000 social distancing markers for use by voters and poll workers.

In addition, representatives of state and federal law enforcement agencies will monitor the election at the State Emergency Operations Center in Johnston and be prepared to respond to any incident that disrupts voting.

The concerns include any foreign or domestic disinformation campaigns, any physical intimidation or threats at polling places and any attempts to hack voter registration or other computer systems.

The integrity of the vote and the safety of the voters are my top priority, Pate said. The vote must be protected and were committing vast resources to ensure that happens.

Full Panel of Federal Judges, Including Three Trump Appointees, Unanimously Reject Judicial Watchs Effort to Depose Hillary Clinton – Law & Crime

The full panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Wednesday rejected a request to revisit whether Hillary Clinton is required to answer questions about her use of a private server during her tenure as secretary of state.

None of the ten circuit judges participating in the matter requested a vote on the petition filed by the conservative activist group Judicial Watch, including Donald Trump-appointed Judges Gregory Katsas, Justin Walker, and Neomi Rao.Judge David Tatel, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, didnt participate in the matter.

A district court judge in March initially took unusual step of ordering discovery in a lawsuit stemming from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by Judicial Watch in relation to Clintons emails.

U.S. District JudgeRoyce Lamberth, an appointee of Ronald Reagan, said the case presented a rare set of circumstances that required further discovery, ordering Clinton to sit for a deposition.

Although discovery in FOIA cases is rare, the Court again reminds the government that it was States mishandling of this case which was either the result of bureaucratic incompetence or motivated by bad faith that opened discovery in the first place, Lamberth wrote.Discovery up until this point has brought to light a noteworthy amount of relevant information, but Judicial Watch requests an additional round of discovery, and understandably so. With each passing round of discovery, the Court is left with more questions than answers.

The district court did deny Judicial Watchs request to depose Clinton over other mattersspecifically those relating to the Benghazi attacks.

But a three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in August unanimously overturned Lamberths ruling, granting a writ of mandamus to prevent the ordered deposition.

Writing for the court, U.S. Circuit Judge Robert L. Wilkins, a Barack Obama appointee, said the facts of the case underscore both the impropriety of the District Courts Order and the appropriateness of turning the page on the issue. Wilkins said that Judicial Watch was likely to use the opportunity question Clinton about matters unrelated to her emails.

Especially in light of Judicial Watchs present access to extensive information responsive to its proposed deposition topics, the deposition of Secretary Clinton, if allowed to proceed, at best seems likely to stray into topics utterly unconnected with the instant FOIA suit, and at worst could be used as a vehicle for harassment or embarrassment, the judge wrote. We refrain from opining further on these topics except to observe that neither path can be squared with the dictates of either FOIA or Rule 26.

Dixville Notch: Joe Biden wins unanimously in the first town to announce 2020 presidential election results – 9News

Joe Biden has won the first town in the United States to count its votes, in a unanimous vote.Donald Trump did not get a single vote in the tiny village of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, as they held their election day at midnight.

Mr Biden got all five votes cast in the town.

Twelve people live in Dixville Notch, which holds their voting event at midnight and reveals the vote count immediately after.

Last time after, Dixville Notch voted for Hillary Clinton, with four votes. Mr Trump got two votes that year, with a single ballot cast for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.

The town is far from predicative of the final result.

But it does not bode well for Mr Trump that he lost all of his support in this one town, which is located in one of 2016's closest states.

The early-hours voting tradition has held in primary and general elections since 1960, despite the municipality's dwindling population and a brief question of how it would hold its February primary after the town's selectman moved away, meaning no one was available to help administer the election.

Fortunately for the political junkies who have taken to Dixville Notch, that position was filled and the tradition continues for its 60th year.

Things were looking better for Mr Trump in Millsfield, which is slightly larger than Dixville Notch, and announced their results soon after.

The president won in a comparative landslide, by a 16-5 margin over Mr Biden.

Mr Biden has done one vote better than his 2016 predecessor Hillary Clinton, who lost the town 16-4. A voter four years ago cast a ballot for Bernie Sanders as a protest vote.

Another town famed for its midnight vote, Hart's Location, rescheduled the event in favour of a daytime vote for coronavirus social distancing reasons.

Key times (AEDT) to watch for during the US election:

11am - Most of Florida closes, and Georgia closes too.

12 noon - all of Florida closes. Watch for results in the Panhandle. If there is a swing back to Biden, this could be a big indicator.

2pm - pretty much all other important states will have closed and counting will begin.

Some states, such as Florida and Ohio, allow this process to start weeks before election day, so the votes are ready to be counted.

Other states, such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, don't allow early votes to be processed until polling day.

Those crucial counts could take days.
